Joe Bonamassa - Sloe Gin- at The Royal Albert Hall in London on 4th May 2009.

To me, when you can fdill the royal albert hall you are big. These days we we like to measure sucess by way of a popularity contest among kids and teeny boppers. What a shame. I can tell you that JB is definitely considered very big indeed by other musicians.

every time I hear this concert, I'm listening to the awesome music while thinking "I wonder if I could steal his sunglasses......." and I still don't know why.....

[TLT50]

I have to respect.....Joe's amazing skills....nobody can dispute that...IMO..!! Perhaps the time wasn't right..? No freakin' way.....this man will carry the torch...of excellence.....I'm just a keyboard player...... with insight...?

[danielstuartblues]

maybe its a good thing that he will never be "massive" ... though that would bring some great music to a wider attention, with a lot of fame comes a lot of anticipation and I think there is a balance...

at the end of the day, joe is respected as an amazing musician... he is happy and his fans are happy, fame isnt everything..

[mlburwell]

This is the Blues par excellence.

[robblockhart]

He is the man, and whoever said he'll never be in popular culture forgets the lesson that the XFL taught us about the media and mainstream audiences... You can shine up all the bells and whistles to make people show up, but in the end it will be raw talent that keeps them there. Joe is one of the most incredible, raw blues players ever. The Killers, and the Jonas brothers can suck it. Joe's band has more musicianship within the backup players than these other jokers do all together.

[Shastriss]

bad camera shot, but great song, and immortally brilliant artist, Joe Bonamassa is truly a standard of talent.

[BONNAMASSIVE]

@Shastriss ONE IS NOT REALLY MEANT TO BE FILMING THIS !!!!

[Jessiboo37]

He may be big but alot of people don't know of him. I love informing people about him every chance I get. Love his music!

[rayzrgrl913]

[bulmudo]

Bonamasing or Bonamassive, i saw his show in a small club, it was so moving and unforgettable. He can Sing, can Blues, can Rock!!!

[vazon69]

Great player BUT, just like BB King, let's not overlook his voice - what a singer!

[slobnoxious]

He will be bigger. BCC wil change that. He knows this.

[1960Nell]

Joe Bonnamassa music to my ears!!! He is awesome!!!

[philmich13]

I almost feel sorry for all the people that don't know about Joe. Almost but not quite.

[dickkwikkwek]

wow you had a good place there!

[garlzz2000]

he is already big!

[rgbrin]

Thank you for posting this fantastic epic live concert...I'm waiting for my video to arrive any day now....

[catamia123]

@rgbrin you will love the two disk set. I cried!

[bluesgunner]

Stunning.

[gazzaboy2531977]

This man is goin to be big !

[wick2107]

he is as big as he ever will be. He will never be in popular culture because well, their interest is in bands like The Jonas Brothers, The Killers, and Panic! At The Disco

basically popular culture does not know great music like they used to. If this was the 70s or 80s Derek Trucks and Joe Bonamassa would be HUGE

[FeathersT21]

@wick2107 Well said my friend!!!

[bouwmr]

@wick2107

sad, very sad .. but true :(

[BONNAMASSIVE]

@bouwmr " He will never be in popular culture " not necessarily true, time is on Joe's side, and he is already popular and popularity is increasing daily. It is just that some of us saw the light before the others.

[bigdio2]

@wick2107 i think it's fair to say that if he can sell out the royal albert hall and get eric clapton to support him then he IS huge

[Budafinga]

@wick2107 new album "dust Bowl" went to #1.

[infinityjet]

@wick2107

Music goes round in circles...another 20 years and real music might be back

[bgibson70]

@wick2107 this is so true!!! But Joe will get BIG BIG BIG!
